The LMC568 is an amplitude-linear phase-locked loop consisting of a linear VCO, fully balanced phase detectors, and
a carrier detect output. LMCMOS
for high performance with low power consumption.
The VCO has a linearized control range of
modulation of FM and FSK signals. Carrier detect is indicated when the PLL is locked to an input signal greater than
26 mVrms. LMC568 applications include FM SCA and TV
second audio program decoders, FSK data demodulators,
and voice pagers.

Notes to Typical Application
SUPPLY DECOUPLING
The decoupling of supply pin 4 becomes more critical at high
supply voltages with high operating frequencies, requiring
C4 to be placed as close to possible to pin 4. Also, due to pin
voltages tracking supply, a large C4 is necessary for low frequency PSRR.
OSCILLATOR TIMING COMPONENTS
The voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) on the LMC568 must
be set up to run at twice the frequency of the input signal.
The components shown in the typical application are for F
=
200 kHz (100 kHz input frequency). For operation at lower
frequencies, increase the capacitor value; for higher frequencies proportionally reduce the resistor values.
If low distortion is not a requirement, the series diode/resistor
between pins 6 and 5 may be omitted. This will reduce VCO
supply dependence and increase V
with THD=2%typical. The center frequency as a function of
by approximately 2 dB
out
Rt and Ct is given by:
To allow for I.C. and component value tolerences, the oscillator timing components will require a trim. This is generally
accomplished by using a variable resistor as part of Rt, although Ct could also be padded. The amount of initial frequency variation due to the LMC568 itself is given in the
electrical specifications; the total trim range must also accommodate the tolerances of Rt and Ct.
INPUT PIN
The input pin 3 is internally ground-referenced with a nominal 40 kΩ resistor. Signals that are centered on 0V may be
directly coupled to pin 3; however, any d.c. potential must be
isolated via C3.

OUTPUT TAKEOFF
The output signal is taken off the loop filter at pin 2. Pin 2 is
the combined output of the phase detector and control input
of the VCO for the phase-locked loop (PLL). The nominal pin
2 source resistance is 80 kΩ, requiring the use of an external
buffer transistor to drive nominal loads.
For small values of C2, the PLL will have a fast acquisition
time and the pull-in range will be set by the built-in VCO frequency stops, which also determine the largest detection
bandwidth (LDBW). Increasing C2 results in improved noise
immunity at the expense of acquisition time, and the pull-in
range will become narrower than the LDBW. However, the
maximum hold-in range will always equal the LDBW. The 2
kHz de-emphasis pole shown may be modified or omitted as
required by the application.
CARRIER DETECT
Pin 1 is the output of a negative-going amplitude detector
which has a nominal 0 signal output of 7/9 V
